Speaking of quirky, in January 2012, the ‘New Girl’ star was spotted arriving on the set of her show with a funny-looking leather purse in her hand – one that was interestingly shaped like a rabbit.

Just a few days before, she was seen wearing the same bag at the Fox 2012 All-Star Winter Party. She styled her statement bag a fit-and-flare Paule Ka cocktail dress with black pumps. Her metallic gold jacquard sleeveless dress features an interesting bow detail.

Mandy Coon’s $435 Bunny Bag: A Quirky Statement Piece

Well, what can you say about Zooey’s “lucky charm”? Can you appreciate it? Her bunny bag is from American fashion designer Mandy Coon.

Born in Katy, Texas—a suburb of Houston—she began her career as a model after being scouted at a mall, an experience that sparked her interest in fashion. She went on to study haute couture sewing and Tailoring at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City and apprenticed with Danish designer Camilla Stærk.

Zooey’s bag is called the “Ginny” bag, and it retailed for a high $435 when it came out.

The “Ginny” bunny bag was introduced as part of her Fall/Winter 2011 collection. This whimsical yet edgy accessory quickly became her signature piece, blending playful charm with a punk-inspired toughness that defines much of her design ethos.
